Tidings of comfort & joy from WBUR
I was gently chided by a reader after my last post on the upcoming special election where I suggested that Senator Brown might not be the odds on favorite. This reader reminded me that despite his loss, Senator Brown remains enormously popular in the state with approval ratings the envy of most politicians. WBUR confirmed this yesterday.

Massachusetts politics descended upon Sandwich this weekend. Again. We are used to it because we have the benefit of having competitive two party politics. It is a battleground for both parties. Since 2002 a Republican has held our state representative’s seat. We have a Democratic state Senator (who also happens to be the Senate President) and between this cycle and the previous cycle, we’ve been front and center as a model for what two party politics might look like in the state.

The natural beauty of Cape Cod is matched only by the expert pours of our local bartenders and our competitive politics. And 2010 promises a good deal of competition.
Legislative Redistricting on the Cape
Cape Cod’s declining population resulted in a few changes to our legislative boundaries.
Vibrant Local Party Organizations
An announcement in my local weekly brightened my day on Friday. Both local parties here announced upcoming meetings. Nor normally the kind of thing to cause excitement, but for fans of political parties it was heartening.
